This package was added to RHEL-4 and it isn't planned to backport it. Red Hat does not currently plan to provide a resolution for this in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux update for currently deployed systems.
Sorry, I don't understand your comment: it's a plain RHEL3 issue, not a backport issue from RHEL4. Are you closing it on WONTFIX?
It's RHEL-3 issue, in RHEL-4 is tix available. It's defered = fixed in higher version.
